He Knows Our Needs Before We Ask, July 5
黎明的灵修-第186章
“你们没有祈求以先,你们所需用的,你们的父早已知道了”(太6:8)。[1]
黎明的灵修-第186章
Our God Will Hear
For your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.Matthew 6:8.{WGD 188.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第186章
耶稣住在人间的时候,也曾经常祈祷。我们的救主既然与我们有一样的需要和软弱,祂就成了一个恳求者。祂需要向祂的父寻求新能力的供应,以应付责任和试炼。祂在凡事上作我们的榜样。祂处身在我们的软弱中,作我们的长兄,“在凡事上受过试探,与我们一样”(来4:15)。但祂是无罪的。祂的本性是远离邪恶的。祂在罪恶的世界中忍受心灵的挣扎与折磨。祂的人性使祈求成为祂的必需和特权。祂在与父的交通中得到安慰和喜乐。人类的救主,上帝的儿子尚且感到需要祈祷,软弱有罪的人类岂不更当感到需要恳切不断地祷告吗?[2]
黎明的灵修-第186章
Jesus Himself, while He dwelt among men, was often in prayer. Our Saviour identified Himself with our needs and weakness, in that He became a suppliant, a petitioner, seeking from His Father fresh supplies of strength, that He might come forth braced for duty and trial. He is our example in all things. He is a brother in our infirmities, “in all points tempted like as we are;” but as the sinless one, His nature recoiled from evil; He endured struggles and torture of soul in a world of sin. His humanity made prayer a necessity and a privilege. He found comfort and joy in communion with His Father. And if the Saviour of men, the Son of God, felt the need of prayer, how much more should feeble, sinful mortals feel the necessity of fervent, constant prayer.{WGD 188.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第186章
我们的天父随时准备把祂丰盛的福分赐给我们。我们有权利从无穷之爱的泉源中尽情取饮。我们祷告如此之少,真是希奇。上帝等着要听到祂最卑微之儿女的诚恳祈求。但我们却似乎不愿意将自己的需要陈告上帝。上帝以无穷的爱心关怀着他们,预备将超过他们所想所求的福分赐给他们,他们的祈祷竟如此少,信心竟如此软弱,众天使对于我们这些贫穷可怜,易受试探的人类会有何感想呢?(SC 93、94)[3]
黎明的灵修-第186章
Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon us the fullness of His blessing. It is our privilege to drink largely at the fountain of boundless love. What a wonder it is that we pray so little! God is ready and willing to hear the sincere prayer of the humblest of His children, and yet there is much manifest reluctance on our part to make known our wants to God. What can the angels of heaven think of poor helpless human beings, who are subject to temptation, when God’s heart of infinite love yearns toward them, ready to give them more than they can ask or think, and yet they pray so little, and have so little faith.—Steps to Christ, 94.{WGD 188.3}[3]
黎明的灵修-第186章
祷告就如对一位朋友那样,向上帝敞开心怀。我们之所以祷告,不是为了让上帝知道我们的处境,而是使我们能接受祂。祷告不是把上帝带到我们身边,而是把我们自己引向上帝。(SC 93)[4]
黎明的灵修-第186章
Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary, in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.—Steps to Christ, 93.{WGD 188.4}[4]
